sounds like a decent deal pricewise when compared to starbucks... and they roast it right before shipping which makes the coffe MUCH better, but since you get four bags right away you either have to drink all 4 bags within a week, or drink stale coffee like you'd buy at starbucks anyhow. It would be better deal if they shipped your 4 bags in 1-2 week intervals.

$22 for 2 lbs of coffee? That's not exactly a great deal...unless you have use for the iTunes card.
Compared to the normal prices it may be, but overall it's not worth the hassle.

Do the 4 bags of coffee weigh in at 20lbs? Why is the shipping so high? The coffee is excellent though. But the shipping charge is gonna add up after a few months of membership.

$14 with a $10 itunes makes it sound like a deal.
but shipping is a killer.
for $4, a coffee drinker would be willing to give it a shot and see if this is any good.. but unless you have tried it before and know you like it, the shipping costs makes you less likely to buy to try.

This coffee rocks! I've been a Boca customer for several years, and it is the best coffee I've had the pleasure to taste. The shipping charges go down as you buy more coffee, just be prepared as you will become addicted to it and lesser cups of coffee just won't do.

Or you can just go all out and buy your own roaster and get premium beans for the same price as the mid-range coffees cost in the stores.

Roast your own coffee in a popcorn popper. Get a Westbend Poppery II or a Toastmaster popper from Target. Works great.

How long do you leave them in for?

About 6 minutes or so, but it really depends on what kind of roast you like. Wait until the coffee starts popping and crackling for the second time, called "second crack." That's a medium-dark roast.
